Mike B. wonders: "It is also interesting that NHMV's label suggests that they do not recognize Elbogen (ca. 1400) as the oldest iron fall. Why?"
http://www.rocksfromspace.org/September_18_2010.html Hello Mike and List, They do not recognize Elbogen as the oldest iron fall because it is *not* a witnessed fall. In his trilogy, Vagn Buchwald only wrote: "the exterior shape of the mass certainly suggests a well-preserved fall. ..Elbogen was probably plowed up sometime around the year 1400 and soon became associated with the simultaneous death (killing?) of one of the hated burgraves."

(1975) Handbook of Iron Meteorites, Volume 2, pp. 557-560. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers, Bernd ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
